Service anniversaries use to be a big deal. Now making it to the next month is. What’s next in the PepsiCo world? Odds on making it to December.
I know these layoffs are painful for everyone, and I respect the financial and emotional impact we’re all facing. But seeing comments blaming H-1B employees for taking jobs is hurtful. We are colleagues facing the same layoffs, with additional uncertainty about whether our families can stay in the country.
I’ve worked at Comcast since 2009 and have been waiting nearly 17 years for permanent residency, following the immigration rules throughout. My employment ends December 31, and my deadline to find another eligible job is January 30, 2027. Otherwise, my family may have to leave—disrupting my children’s school year and potentially forcing us to sell our home.
I’m not asking for special treatment. I’m asking that we avoid blaming or discriminating against colleagues because of their visa status or nationality. We’ve built our lives here and contributed to this company and our communities. We all deserve respect and compassion during this difficult time.
They're kidding right? Just another opportunity to spin fantasies about what they do all day. Everyone else is doing the actual work of meeting clients where they are, solving problems and in doing so efficiently, retain their business. No bonus for those who do, though. Only the big decision makers who move the business get those bonus checks. So, that is what they move, more money to themselves while others are laid off.
I heard from multiple sources a major announcement is coming Monday. Unsure if it is more layoffs but been told to be on the look out.
I can verify VP, Director, Manager, Supervisors, Finance, HR, Headend, Construction, Ulearn, Sales, Comcast Business Development, Fleet/Facilities, Customer Care, TSC, FTC, XOC, Tech Ops (Only Sups/Managers Limited markets) have been effected. Largest layoff we will never know the quantity with the numbers being padded by the employees hired in Chennai India Comcast Center.
See in the quarterly release CEO mentioned Aspen moving ahead to FID by the end of the decade. Who will be left to run it? Everyone with knowledge is leaving …
I have ZERO insider info, this is my 2c only based on my gut feeling.... Haven't heard anything from HR or upper mgmt. This based on what's been happening lately and how Oracle operates (or at least how I see it operate).
I think another RIF is coming in December, likely before the holidays. Wouldn't be surprised if its a pretty significant one either.
My guesses:
We are betting EVERYTHING on AI infrastructure right now. All that money going into data centers has to come from somewhere. My feeling is they'll keep pouring billions into OCI while squeezing the rest of the org.
I've seen people mention 10% cuts between Nov and Jan. No idea if thats accurate but wouldn't shock me.
Again, NO inside knowledge here. Just connecting the dots and going with my gut.
Thoughts? Who's getting hit and how much.
I can't figure out whether we're about to become one of the biggest winners in AI or whether this whole thing is going to blow up in our faces.Mgmt keeps talking about OCI growth, AI contracts, partnerships with NVIDIA, OpenAI, and everyone else. The numbers look good on paper but internally it's hard to reconcile all the excitement with what we actually see day to day. OCI still has plenty of issues, and I don't exactly hear coworkers talking about how great our technology is compared to AWS or Azure. My biggest concern is the amount of $$$$$$ we're committing to all this infra. What happens if AI demand slows down or these contracts don't translate into the profits everyone expects? Knowing Oracle, I wouldn't be surprised if employees end up paying the price through layoffs and cost cutting. Anyone else feeling this way?
Seems like everything is hush-hush on the retail side of things. Are they planning on cutting reps and ASMs in-store?
Does anyone know if any of the folks that took the VRSP if any were hired back after applying for open positions? You can’t apply back after 1 year, here it’s been 1.5 years since your VRSP. You apply for the exact same position, outstanding reviews 4’s & 5’’s, went nice and beyond, built great relationships internally and externally a UHC Alumni for 16 years at UHC, . A Referral is sent on your behalf and your qualifications meet every aspect of the job role, and this is what they reply via email:
Although your skills and qualifications are impressive, we have identified other candidates whose experience more closely fit the specifications of the position.
This has happened
Not once
not twice
But multiple times
This just goes to show UHC truly doesn’t stand behind their own “culture values of Transparency”.
Shame on them!
folks, the news about the early retirement should be a wake-up call for everyone in tech. that's roughly a third of the workforce, and whether it's voluntary exits or layoffs, the message is clear. msft and other companies are looking for ways to cut costs while pouring billions into AI & data centers (and automation). I think this trend is only going to accelerate.
my 2 c... first know your severance package and exactly how long you can survive without a paycheck. second keep at least 6 mo of living expenses saved. 3rd update your resume and linkedin NOW, not after you get laid off. finally start building your prof network outside your co. talk to people and contribute to open source, share your projects on github (very iportant), and build some credibility before you actually need it.
stop collecting useless certs and start building real AI projects. build something - a RAG app, an agent, or some automation thatsolves a problem. employers want to see what you can do not just what courses you've completed. Having a solid portfolio and knowing the right people can make a huge differnce when you're suddenly looking for work.
if you're on H1B, you need to take this even more seriously, you don't just risk losing your paycheck, you risk uprooting your entire family or whoever depends on u: your kids, your home, your immigration status, everything can be affected. i'd say put 10x the effort into networking, saving money, and preparing backup options. don't assume your co will protect you. the biggest mistake is thinking you'll deal with all this when it happens. by then you're already behind. the job market is changing FAST, and being loyal to one company isn't a career startegy anymore. Build your options now!!! even if your job feels completely secure. not trying to scare anyone, just sharing some practial advice.
the uncertaintity in tech isn't going away anytime soon and being prepared is a lot better than scrambling after getting that unexpected meeting invite.
looks to be another 100ish+ roles. sales, ops, product, hr, it today.
Buh, buh, byeeeee!!!!!
Lpl was only able to retain 83% of Commonwealth advisors and their stock took a big hit.
When are they going to realize they can't sustain this growth.
Clientworks doesn't work most days. Clients can't login to AV.
Even the phones systems shut down.
Get ready for more layoffs to offset their failure.
UK betting companies are expressing strong concern over a recent increase in the Machine Games Duty tax. This tax hike, from 20% to 25%, is expected to have severe consequences for the industry. Operators warn of significant job losses and the closure of many brick-and-mortar establishments. Industry leaders believe this decision will push customers towards the illegal betting market. The Betting and Gaming Council estimates nearly 9,000 jobs could be lost and around 1,000 properties could close.

Apple has reportedly impacted over 400 positions since August across various departments. California WARN records indicate 147 permanent separations at three company sites. Changes have affected teams involved with Vision Pro, Siri, hardware engineering, and sales operations. Some reports suggest these adjustments are linked to AI advancements and memory chip market pressures. Vision Pro game development has ceased, with immersive video work continuing at a reduced capacity.

ILEC business is getting gutted. What happened to “We Win Because We’re Local”?
Our company has lost its soul.
Ye Rustic Inn, a Los Feliz establishment since 1971, is confronting potential staff layoffs before the holidays due to the impending removal of its outdoor patio. The landlord cites insurance concerns for the patio's closure, which is scheduled for Monday. While the bar's indoor operations will continue, the loss of the patio creates significant financial uncertainty for the business. Community members and regulars are rallying to support the bar, hoping to influence the landlord's decision. This situation highlights broader challenges faced by independent businesses in Los Angeles.

Does anyone know a total headcount that was affected? Seeing the new numbers with PA, NJ and WA alone has me wondering.
I would think the new hires and the people that can “reapply” will have knowledge of coding.
Pennymac is implementing significant cost-cutting measures, including $160 million in annualized operating expense reductions. This move comes as the company experienced its lowest mortgage origination and acquisition volume since early 2024. Despite a $7 million loss in its production segment, the company's servicing segment saw a substantial increase in pretax income. Pennymac is also selling servicing rights to reduce debt and repurchase shares. The company anticipates higher-for-longer interest rates will continue to impact the market.

Alexandria defense contractor DCS has postponed planned layoffs for 65 employees. This decision comes after a contract protest led the U.S. Army to suspend a follow-on contract award. The protest was filed with the Government Accountability Office this week. As a result, DCS will likely continue work under its current contract while the protest is resolved. The duration of this continued performance remains uncertain.

Ive been stalking LinkedIn since everything on here is so vague. One manager in particular that is lazy and I'm not sure how he got where he is, is still there commenting on others posts that were laid off, saying he will miss them. smh. Was hoping he would get the boot.
AT&T and Verizon have collectively eliminated 8,000 jobs in the last quarter, significantly reducing their combined employee count. This marks a continuation of substantial workforce reductions for both companies over recent years. Despite CEO predictions, these layoffs appear driven by traditional efficiency measures rather than AI advancements. The companies' revenue per employee has increased significantly during this period of downsizing. Analysts remain skeptical about the AI-driven productivity narrative behind these job cuts.

Seriously, how bad can AT&T look. The company does not live out it's own slogan. The CEO is an absolute joke. His explanation for why the stock is tanking was so predictable and a waste of oxygen.
The reason the stock is tanking is that a new competitor has entered the market. It is not just any new competitor, but it is a competitor with a real CEO in Elon Musk. The politest and most conservative way to describe it is that Starlink will destroy AT&T. Elon will own the Stink. AT&T under the Stink has no chance to compete with Starlink. AT&T is all debt, no cattle. Stinkey is absolutely embarrassing.
it’s open season for lay offs next week, it happens every year in November and December to spoil employees holiday season and to get the numbers adjusted to end the 4th quarter and year end.
For the ones hoping to be let go, good luck with getting let go, if you need the job, also good luck, but don’t be surprised, both companies are in rough situations and the future is not optimistic.

why is dan being lauded as a savior when he is just axing people and doing stock buybacks?
I’ve been gone a while, couple of rounds ago. I had to get this out after many former colleagues reaching out after impact, or scared that they’re next. Nike’s leadership is completely tone-deaf, we know this without saying again and again but my goodness, what on the actual h*ll?!
Another round of layoffs announced just weeks ago. Employees terrified they’re next. Former employees still trying to recover. And what’s happening on LinkedIn? Leaders celebrating promotions and advertising senior leadership openings like everything is just wonderful.
How tone-deaf can you possibly be? The complete lack of awareness, judgment, and consideration for the people whose lives have been turned upside down is disgusting. Read the d*mn room.
People who actually gave a sh*t about this company, its customers, and the work they did have been tossed aside. Others are waiting for the next shoe to drop while leadership continues patting itself on the back.
And somehow, there’s money and opportunity for more senior leadership? Fascinating.
Why are you recruiting externally when you have incredibly talented, experienced employees sitting inside your own organization, wondering whether their name is on some bullsh*t, arbitrary layoff spreadsheet? People who have delivered results, know the business, and could very well be qualified for the positions you’re advertising. But instead of giving them an opportunity to stay employed, they’re reduced to a number on a spreadsheet while you go shopping for talent elsewhere. How about giving the people who are STILL THERE an opportunity NOT to lose their jobs? Disgusting.
And to former Nike employees considering reapplying? Don’t bother. Almost guaranteed you will find yourself automatically rejected. Don’t believe me? Ask around.
How many rounds of layoffs and leadership shakeups does it take before someone admits the problem starts at the top?
And when will Nike realize this goes far beyond the quiet, carefully managed conversations they have with the people they’re laying off?
Those conversations don’t stay behind closed doors. People talk. Families talk. Former employees talk. The public sees it. YOUR CONSUMERS SEE IT.
Speaking from personal experience, it’s sickening to watch. I’ve witnessed serious misconduct concerns involving people who reported to me while watching other employees lose their livelihoods. I have serious concerns about whether accountability was applied consistently and whether race improperly influenced who was protected and who was pushed out. Don’t come after me here, I’m not the only one. Check the post layoff rosters friends.
So spare everyone the corporate messaging about integrity, values, and doing the right thing until you’re willing to demonstrate those things internally.
And those glowing LinkedIn comments? Let’s not confuse public congratulations with universal approval. Some employees are too afraid to speak up, and people outside the organization are desperate for opportunities. That doesn’t mean everyone is buying what you’re selling.
Here’s what Nike’s leadership seems to forget. Your employees ARE your consumers. So are their spouses, children, friends, and families. Every person you’ve pushed out has a story, and every employee still living in fear has one too.
You can spend billions marketing a brand, but you can’t market your way out of treating people like sh*t.
Keep celebrating yourselves. Keep posting about your exciting new chapters while the people who helped build this company are left picking up the pieces while they watch your tasteless parading.
The damage to Nike’s reputation doesn’t end when an employee’s access badge stops working.
The people you discard don’t disappear. They become part of the story consumers tell about your brand.
